    Damn, poor little baby sure is jealous that Luigi got the entire US talking about the evils of private health insurance for weeks if not months and took down a mass-murderer.

    What a little cockweasel you are.

        Hey, man, Luigi was fighting for you too; maybe with proper dental care, for example, you could finally have those boot polish stains removed from your teeth.

          You’re not opposing any boots yourself, shoeshine. You’re doing fuck all to help anyone.

          Just like Luigi: impotent rage incapable of bringing about change.

                Oh shit, good one. Wow, you’re so clever I almost forgot that you’re insufferable. Come to think of it, I tagged you some months ago after reading a comment where you called Bill Gates the “best billionaire”, so maybe your opinion of Luigi would’ve improved if he’d had extramarital affairs in the company of the 21st century’s most notorious child sex trafficker.

                  I stand by it, but it’s certainly a low bar.

                  At least he was being blackmailed for cheating on his wife with adult women unlike Jeff’s clients.

                  Regardless even if Bill Gates had hypothetically murdered 100,000 people he would still be in the moral positive karma by millions.

                  Meanwhile Luigi did fuck all.

                    Man, not like Jimmy Buffett or something? It had to be the man who used underhanded tactics – notable even compared to other massive corporations – to monopolize home computing and was buddy–buddy with a man he definitely knew trafficked and raped children while he cheated on his wife with multiple women? You clearly have poor taste in people either way, but hopefully in this specific case you just said “fuck it” and carelessly decided that, out of the ~3000 billionaires, your guy is the one who remarked that a permanent ban of Trump from Twitter “would be a shame” and who used his platform to spread disinformation that climate change doesn’t pose an existential threat to humanity.

                    Even if the billionaire has to be alive, you’re remarkably stupid by choosing him.

            I dunno, that one CEO surely didn’t think Mangione’s alleged rage was very impotent, and all the other CEOs that got scared didn’t think so, either. Unfortunately the American people let Luigi down, though

              Scared? UHC aren’t acting scared, that’s for sure, they’re ramping up automation to deny more claims.

            I sorta hear where you’re coming from but I think for most people, someone getting out there and shooting someone is a million times more ballsy and proactive than we’ll ever be. Agreed that it was misguided/naive though. I think it’s hard to know what will actually bring about the much needed change.

                Bernie Sanders is well loved, but also extremely old, and doesn’t seem to have passed the torch to the next generation of like minded politicians.

                  I mean what would you call AOC, and Mandami, there’s no torch, Bernie is 1 of 100 senators. He’s never tried to sell himself as some special perfect person. Isn’t any time he endorses someone that passing the torch. He doesn’t have to step down to have an air apparent. I’m sure if someone with good ideas went to run in vermont he’d probably step down for it. but right now the game is national, and he’s playing it on a national level.

                    Young.

                    (Sorry. Had to.)

                    An 84 year old shouldn’t be in that position no matter how they outwardly appear. He’s doing a fine job but he could be doing a better job helping to build more "1 in 100"s to make a change.

                  Well he has endorsed a lot of people over the years, actually went on tour after the 2024 election ended to get people across the USA more involved in politics at every level and vowing to support then in the midterms.

                  I follow him on YouTube and he does A LOT of rallies. They seem pretty cool, they always have some local musicians play a few songs before he goes on.

                    Why is he still in his seat when he’s well past retirement age? Why doesn’t he have a successor? He’s 84.

                    RBG was 87 when she died, and she held onto that position long enough to have a Republican appoint her replacement.

                    I like Bernie but I’m concerned why he hasn’t passed the touch.
